Old Testament

There are no known writings directly authored by Elijah or Elisha recorded in the Bible. However, their activities and interactions are detailed in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings in the Old Testament. Their stories showcase powerful displays of faith, miracles, and prophetic actions.

According to the Bible, Moses fled from Egypt to Midian after killing an Egyptian taskmaster. The distance between Egypt and Midian is estimated to be around 200-250 miles, depending on the specific route taken. Assuming an average walking speed of 20-25 miles per day, it would have taken Moses approximately 8-12 days to walk from Egypt to Midian.

Joshua and the Israelites failed to fully drive out all the Canaanite inhabitants from the promised land, as they were commanded to do by God. This failure to completely remove the Canaanites eventually led to issues of idolatry and disobedience among the Israelites.

One piece of evidence that Abraham loved Ishmael is that he prayed for God's blessing and protection over Ishmael's life. Additionally, Abraham took care of Ishmael, providing for his needs and ensuring his well-being. The Quran also mentions instances where Abraham showed affection and care towards Ishmael.

The Bible never mentions their names, only the names of their sons born to them.

Elisha fled Jezebel because she wanted to kill him after he had executed the prophets of Baal following the contest on Mount Carmel. He feared for his life and sought refuge in the wilderness to escape her wrath.

The Bible says God was in existence before man:

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

and man was created in God's image.

Genesis 1:26,27 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The tradition of the Sages (Talmud, Shabbat 56a) is that Samuel's sons did not commit a technical sin, but sought convenience and avoided being traveling judges. Rather, they judged people in one location, saving the expenses of travel. This found disfavor in God's eyes, since Samuel himself had traveled every year to serve as Judge in a number of locations (1 Samuel 7:16), and his sons had been expected to follow Samuel's example.

Joseph went to Egypt as a slave. Jacob's other sons came to Egypt because of famine in their homeland. In Egypt they were assured of land and food by Joseph who was now second in charge of the land.

In Genesis chapter 17

Genesis 17:16 And I (God) will bless her (Sarah) and also give you (Abraham) a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her."

the father was god he is the father of all. PREACH

The Israelites went to Egypt during a time of famine in Canaan around 1700-1500 BCE, according to biblical chronology. This event is described in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, where it is said that Joseph, one of the sons of Jacob (Israel), interpreted Pharaoh's dream predicting the famine.

The time of Abraham (in The Bible) was estimated by scholars to be some time between 2000 BC and 1850 BC. Abraham died at the age of 175 years. (Gen 25:7), which would be between 1820 BC and 1675 BC.

Biblical scholars calculated the time that Joshua led Israel into land of Canaan around 1240 BC at which time he would have been around 60 years old (ca. 1300 BC). Joshua died at the age of 110 (Joshua 24:29).

So, between the death of Abraham and the birth of Joshua was about 400 years.

Each plague was designed to counteract the power of one of the Egyptian gods. This culminated in the death of Pharoah's son because Pharoah gained his power and authority from claiming descent from a god (Ra).

The reason is given in the following verse. "Then one of the seraphim flew unto me, with a glowing coal in his hand which he had taken with the tongs from the altar; and he touched my mouth with it, and said: this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is atoned."

Righteous -- this is how God described Noah

Genesis 7:1 Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.

The second portion of Isaiah (the latter chapters) speak of the eventual redemption of the Israelites by God. Tradition states that all the chapters of Isaiah were authored by the one Prophet Isaiah. Non-traditional theories claiming more than one author of the Book of Isaiah are based upon zero physical evidence and are refuted by the fact that the Septuagint and the Dead Sea scrolls (and all other ancient sources) include the complete text of Isaiah.

Ruth 3:7 And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

This may seem very irregular to us in our culture, but actually it was the accepted practice in that day and there was nothing evil or suggestive about it.
